CLICK COMMUNICATION IN HARBOUR PORPOISESPHOCOENA PHOCOENA [PDF]
Bioacoustics, 2011 ABSTRACT Sound plays an important role for toothed whales in foraging and communication. However, little is known about acoustic communication in the toothed whale species that only produce narrow band high frequency (NBHF) clicks, such as the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena.

Click communication in wild harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractSocial delphinids employ a vocal repertoire of clicks for echolocation and whistles for communication. Conversely, the less social and acoustically cryptic harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) only produce narrow-band high-frequency (NBHF) clicks with properties that appear poorly suited for communication. Nevertheless, these small odontocetes

Post-Mortem Computed Tomography Pulmonary Findings in Harbor Porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Animals, 2022 The application of whole-body post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) in veterinary and wildlife post-mortem research programs is advancing. A high incidence of pulmonary pathology is reported in the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). In this study, the
